Chinese Think Our Green-Friendly Totes are Hot
I was just putzing around when I saw this great bag from We Are What We Do. Apparently, this is a really hot item. Love! The company, London-based, supports taking action and sending a message through the products we use everyday, like shopping bags.
I actually found out about the bags while reading this article chinadaily.com; here’s an excerpt:
The company, We Are What We Do, engaged London designer Anya Hindmarch to create the bags, which originally sold for $5 through a website, and quickly became a cult item.Proving consumerism and conservation are no longer odd bed fellows, China’s youth are the latest to embrace environmental protection as a fashion statement.
The last part I found really interesting. How long, do you think, before environmental concerns become a big deal with the Chinese people? After all, their country is one of the worst when it comes to pollution. And yes, I know that China is undemocratic and popular opinion might not impact much, but the cities, which are basically liberalized areas, and are closest to the pollution, might cause leaders to reconsider policy, no?
